He'd be our best forward instantly, on current standing, and we could move any number of surplus forwards to fit him in...but I'd be very surprised if we could afford him. Back loading his contract would also back us into a corner, given he'd be looking for a 5+ year deal.

thanks for sharing a very good review. My main concern for 2020 is where are the goals going to come from?? I was hoping for some commentary on Josh Battle returning to the forward line now with our excess of key defenders, with the return of many from injury, including Carlisle & Clavarino. Jo...

Fair amount of bin fodder, and I got a cap instead of the requested beanie. At least they got my name right this year

Not forgetting of course, he's an ex-AFL player, and did quite well as a running back at Collingwood. With an AFL pre-season under his belt he'll be more than useful as backup, I'm hoping even a regular.

Marshall is the wild card. If he can replicate as a forward what he did in the ruck, then we’ll soon forget about Bruce. I can see Battle taking the vacant spot in the F50, he's strong, competitive, fearless and reads the play beautifully...with Robbo and Webster available down back, I'm sure the c...

I wonder why we persisted with White and Young for so long. Only conclusion is that no better options were available. They cannot have imagined that they would suddenly turn into Leigh Mathews. I don't think we persisted with Young at all...was it 3 games in the end? Then cut before his contract is...

You can compare the last two seasons to the early 2000s when we picked up Fraser Gehrig (West Coast), Luke Penny (Bulldogs), Brett Voss (Brisbane), Brent Guerra (Port Adelaide), Jason Gram (from Brisbane), Sam Fisher (mature age South Australian). We gave up a few second rounders for those players ...

We've been playing the long game since 2011, it just hasn't worked. At some stage the club needed to boost onfield leadership, introduce some 'mentors', generate a culture of success and stimulate memberships and sponsors with some wins...it won't happen by bottoming out and heading to the draft eac...

Deal done. Great value pick-up by North. Love money-ball trades and North have spent nothing to get him. North Melbourne: Aiden Bonar and a future fourth-round selection (tied to Melbourne) Greater Western Sydney: Future third-round selection Definitely would have liked to have taken that one. I'm ...

Well...I did say Max was more a chance to head north than Ben south...AFL's artificial strengthening of the Suns takes its first casualty, our 2020 recruiting.

If we do not actually land Hill this trade period will not end up being what we hoped. Of all the players who want to come to us he is the one we most need and who will make the most difference to us. We should certainly not pay vast offers for him but without him acquisitions are more the support ...

Hope Robert Harvey gets the job and proves to be a super coach. St Kilda does not deserve to ever have Robert Harvey as coach, we had a chance and chose Ratten, earlier we chose Richardson ahead of Banger and before that Scott Waters. Such an insult to a club legend, I hope he rubs it in our face. ...

Pick 33 isnt enough. Stop bying into the agenda that Geelong and the f****** media are creating. Jack Steven is worth a better pick than 33 any day of the week. Yes he is worth more than 33. However he’s 29 years old, overweight, unfit with mental health issues. There is no guarantee next year he w...

Lol...Peter Bell buys a 5 year old BMW for $50k, puts 60,000kms on it and lists it on Carsales for $150k. What a goose...I bet the Saints haven't laughed that hard for 2 and a half minutes for a long time.

Goose is king wrote: ↑Wed 09 Oct 2019 3:53pm 24 and we pay much of his salary sounds great.

Sounds like the deal to me...he is contracted, if he wants to continue to play and Geelong would like him there, why would we need to compromise? In any case, it has a long way to play out, would be surprised if it wasn't the last trade done.

Certainly seems like a good get, there were big wraps on him for most of the season...but with 3 years still to play out on his contract Port would be in their rights to play a bit of hardball. Hill/Jones should be priorities, and our key defensive positions at least solidly covered for now, I wond...

Thank God Buckenara isn't anywhere near our list manager. His strategy for the coming two weeks: - Pay overs for Hill - Pay overs for Jones - Take way unders for Bruce - Take unbelievable unders for Steven Oh and btw, here's a few cliches about players who aren't stars and never will be. Then he wo...

But not if we're paying part of his wage...better also be a late third round pick coming our way if that's the case.

[quote=freely post_id=1827447 time=1570147874 If we don't get Ben this year (and sounds like we won't) he'll have become a core part of that Suns team by next draft season. Entirely possible he'll be more committed to them than Max is to us. Especially if Max ends up having more injury issues while ...
